Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selection of reports on collaborative efforts between police agencies and behavioral scientists to improve recruitment, selection, and human relations training. During the past few years, a number of interesting collaborative efforts have taken place between police agencies and behavioral science consultants in developing innovative programs to improve police practices. The major emphasis of the programs reported here centers around the area of human relations training. There has been a growing recognition of the importance of such training because of the very considerable discretion given a police officer in dealing with people. What's more, 75 to 90 percent of the job of an urban police officer is involved with the delivery of non-crime related human services. The training programs represented in this volume include the areas of child and juvenile contacts, race relations, family crisis intervention, conflict management, and community relations. These programs represent a significant departure from traditional police training which has frequently been a matter of indoctrination through lectures. New directions are explored in learning and curriculum design to instill in the officer the good judgment, decision making ability, prudence, and understanding which are required for a professional response to field situations. In addition, this compilation of reports includes a description of programs to design police promotional examinations and to recruit police applicants from the black population.

This book was released on 2004-05-06 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because police are the most visible face of government power for most citizens, they are expected to deal effectively with crime and disorder and to be impartial. Producing justice through the fair, and restrained use of their authority. The standards by which the public judges police success have become more exacting and challenging. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing explores police work in the new century. It replaces myths with research findings and provides recommendations for updated policy and practices to guide it. The book provides answers to the most basic questions: What do police do? It reviews how police work is organized, explores the expanding responsibilities of police, examines the increasing diversity among police employees, and discusses the complex interactions between officers and citizens. It also addresses such topics as community policing, use of force, racial profiling, and evaluates the success of common police techniques, such as focusing on crime "hot spots." It goes on to look at the issue of legitimacyâ€"how the public gets information about police work, and how police are viewed by different groups, and how police can gain community trust. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing will be important to anyone concerned about police work: policy makers, administrators, educators, police supervisors and officers, journalists, and interested citizens.
